UTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - UTET MCQ

Language acquired by the children helps in development of children. Since, children hear and learn from the sounds of speech even while they are still in the womb. Language learning accelerates once infants are born. This language learning affects cognitive development. Some effects are more specific to language whereas other are more general. Development is a multiple process which includes various things. And language is one of them.

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, proposed that children's cognitive development proceeds through four stages:

• Sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years): Children use their senses and motor abilities to understand the world around them. They learn through direct experiences with objects and people.
• Preoperational stage (2 to 7 years): Children develop mental symbols to represent objects and ideas. They begin to use language and engage in pretend play.
• Concrete operational stage (7 to 11 years): Children develop the ability to think logically and systematically about concrete objects and events. They become more skilled at solving problems.
• Formal operational stage (11 years and beyond): Children develop abstract thinking skills and are able to reason logically about abstract concepts and hypothetical situations.

These stages are not fixed and children may move through them at different rates. The stages provide a general framework for understanding children's cognitive development and can help educators tailor their instruction to meet the needs and abilities of their students.

The teacher is responsible to keep the students active, disciplined, attentive, participative during the teaching-learning process. For all this, the teacher has to keep the students motivated so that they remain self-disciplined and actively perform in the classroom activity. 

Social Heredity, suggests that the son's expertise as a doctor can be attributed to the influence of the doctor-parent's social environment. 
Social heredity refers to the transmission of cultural and social factors from one generation to the next. In this example, the son of a doctor benefits from growing up in an environment where medical knowledge, values, and practices are likely to be prevalent. Here's how social heredity plays a role:

• Access to Resources: Being the child of a doctor, the son may have greater access to resources such as medical books, journals, and educational materials. These resources can provide early exposure to medical concepts, terminology, and research, setting a strong foundation for future expertise.
• Educational Opportunities: The son may have received guidance and encouragement from the doctor-parent to pursue a career in medicine. This support can include recommendations for quality educational institutions, advice on relevant courses, and assistance with academic pursuits. Access to a robust education can greatly contribute to the son's development as an expert doctor.
• Role Modeling: Growing up with a doctor-parent as a role model can inspire the son to follow in their footsteps. Observing the parent's dedication, work ethic, and passion for medicine can influence the son's career choice and motivate them to strive for excellence in their medical studies and practice.
• Cultural Values and Expectations: In families with a medical background, there may be a strong emphasis on the importance of healthcare, patient well-being, and professionalism. These cultural values and expectations can shape the son's understanding of the medical field and instill a sense of responsibility and commitment to becoming an expert doctor.

Overall, the son's expertise as a doctor is not solely determined by biological heredity but is influenced significantly by social heredity, including the resources, educational opportunities, role modeling, and cultural values inherited from the doctor's parents' social environment.

Teaching learning materials (TLMs) are used by teachers to help learners to learn concept with ease and efficiency. A good textbook should contain :

• Adequate subject matter
• Proper content with the preface
• Required images and diagrams for better understanding
• A number of good questions of different types for practice
• Suitable structure
• Suitable vocabulary

So, we conclude that frequently misspelt words are not the characteristics of a good textbook.

The Direct Method is a language teaching method that emphasizes the use of target language communication and immersion. It aims to develop oral proficiency and natural language use through direct interaction and contextual learning.

Reasons behind challenges of teaching language:

• This is because there is a mismatch between what the teaching plan for the topic assumes as available prior knowledge and what individual students actually have.
• This is a problem that always comes up when a standard syllabus is covered according to a fixed calendar and learners are not ready for the given lesson.
• If they do not learn as expected, it is because of this inadequate preparation, and not because of low learning capacity
• The standard syllabus for any subject is based on certain logical and reasonable assumptions. The syllabus for Class V builds on the Class IV syllabus, and the Class VI syllabus builds on what is in the Class V syllabus, and so on.
• The problem in the classroom arises because every child has not properly learned or mastered everything covered earlier. Teachers often do some revision before taking up a new topic. This is of course useful, but may not be enough.

Thus, it could be concluded that 'this is the problem of low learning capacity and learners' ignorance which could be improved by drill and practice exercise' is not one of the best possible reasons behind the above-mentioned challenge of teaching language.

Learning Difficulties refers to a state when a person faces difficulty in learning. It may be due to physical limitations/disabilities such as - impairment in hearing, visual, low intellectual functioning, and inappropriate motor coordination.

• Diagnostic evaluation/test refers to the test which helps the teachers to know the learning difficulties or gaps in learner's understanding and identifying learner's strengths, weaknesses, skills, etc.

A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or conjunction. An independent clause is a clause that has a subject and a verb and forms a complete thought.
Here, two independent clauses "the farmer was old" and "he could not plough..." are joined by the conjunction 'and'.

Community Resources are assets in a community that helps meet certain needs of those around them. These assets can be people, places or structures, and community services. Community resources help build stronger, more resilient individuals and communities. Community resources are also very helpful in teaching-learning process. 

The Paik system was the most important factor in the social and political organisation of the Ahoms. The male inhabitants of the ages between 16 and 50 were dominated as Paiks. The Paiks had to render compulsory service to the state - both Military and Civil. Apart from rendering civil duties such as construction of roads and embankments, the Paiks had to serve as a standing militia in times of emergency.

Every country needs a government to make decisions and get things done.

• These can be decisions about where to build roads and schools, or how to reduce the price of onions when they get too expensive or ways to increase the supply of electricity.
• The government also takes action on many social issues, for example, it has several programmes to help the poor. It does other important things such as running postal and railway services.
• The government also has the job of protecting the boundaries of the country and maintaining peaceful relations with other countries.
• It is responsible for ensuring that all its citizens have enough to eat and have good health facilities.
• When there are natural disasters like the tsunami or an earthquake it is the government that mainly organises aid and assistance for the affected people.

Thus, it is clear that governments build the roads and schools, supply the electricity, and take action on social issues for their people.

• Shankara, one of the most influential philosophers of India, was born in Kerala in the eighth century.
• He was an advocate of Advaita or the doctrine of the oneness of the individual soul and the Supreme God which is the Ultimate Reality. Hence, statement I is true.
• According to Shankara, the individual soul (jiva) and the Supreme God (Brahman) are not separate entities, but rather they are one and the same.
• He believed that the true nature of the individual soul is identical to the nature of Brahman and that the illusion of duality arises only because of ignorance.
• He taught that Brahman, the only or Ultimate Reality, was formless and without any attributes. Thus, statement II is true.
• He considered the world around us to be an illusion or Maya and preached renunciation of the world and adoption of the path of knowledge to understand the true nature of Brahman and attain salvation.

Hence we conclude that the correct option is Both (I) and (II) are true.
